There’s nothing particularly wrong with this movie. And it had some moments of brilliance in the vignettes it painted of the Djinn’s past adventures. But overall, for me, I found the whole was less than the sum of its parts. Review
This proved to be a really interesting little horror film, beautifully shot, fitting and well chosen music and – above all – skillfully directed and paced by Hanna Bergholm. Review
I wasn’t expecting very much from Beast, but my expectations were not even remotely met. A real summer dud for me I’m afraid. Review
It’s a harmless and beautifully filmed costume drama. It’s inoffensive and I found it a pleasant enough watch for two hours. Review
Fall neatly develops this into a tense and enthralling survival movie. Review
It has high ambition but came across as a rag-bag of elegant bits of content that just didn’t mesh into a satisfactory story. Review
I personally thought it was a hoot, with more than enough depth for adults (and superhero-fan adults in particular) to enjoy. Review
Directed by Deadpool 2 director David Leitch, Bullet Train is similarly loud, brash and very violent. But it is also, spasmodically, very entertaining, moving and – most importantly – very funny. Review
As a remake of a classic, this movie was always going to be dicing with disaster. It’s fine as a gentle, undemanding watch. But if it is aiming for a nostalgic older audience, it feels underpowered on both the nostalgia and the plot. Review
It’s both trying to be a melodramatic pot-boiler and a courtroom drama, and neither work particularly well. It just feels like it’s trying to cram too much into a movie. Review
I was prepared for a “Taken” style “park your brain at the door” actioner. But there’s “park your brain at the door” and “labotomise and liquify your brain in a blender”. And this movie is certainly more the latter. Pretty poor stuff. Review
This was marketed as movie firmly at the ‘comedy’ end of the MCU spectrum. But, for me, it really struggled to meet the “six laughs” test. Sure, there were multiple smiles, but very few decent belly laughs... Review
This is undoubtedly one of the films of the year. You feel like you really are watching Elvis in the story. Review
The French Dispatch is a rag-bag of disconnected episodes, all of varying degrees of bat-shit-craziness, but which never quite congeal into a satisfying movie experience. Review
We are firmly in B-movie territory here. But although it’s pretty mindless fun, it still manages to entertain. Review
Insightful and thoughtful, it was a terrific movie that will appeal to many older people. Review
Lightyear is a reasonably entertaining yarn and as beautifully animated as you would expect. Review
I was rather mystified by the enormous success of It and its sequel It Chapter 2. I found them to be glossy but insubstantial. In contrast, I found The Black Phone to be far superior in every way. If you like your ‘small’ indie horror films, then this one comes with a recommendation. Review
I really wanted to like this more than I did. It seemed to have a lot of potential that got frittered away with an over-eager rush to chuck in action. As a curate’s egg, it’s well worth watching for the bits where the script zings along nicely. And overall, it’s a perfectly pleasant movie for a rainy afternoon. Review
I was looking forward to this summer blockbuster. But it failed on every level to satisfy me. What a disappoinment! Review
I thoroughly enjoyed this one, being FAR better than I expected. Hanks delivers a fine performance and the story – a nice cross between Wall-E, Castaway and The Incredible Journey – never lost my interest. Review
A surprisingly solid movie blockbuster that delivers brilliantly on its promise. Tense, exciting and with star quality, this is a movie you definitely need to get out to a big screen to see. Recommended. Review
Yet, after its 5* opening, the messaging felt to me like I was being repeatedly slapped around the head by a soggy and blood soaked arm. Review
The convoluted plot is just so clever in warping the multiverse concept to its needs. I had a massive grin on my face for a lot of the movie, particularly when the various villains arrived! It’s a stunning bit of writing, with some extremely poignant call-outs to past movies in the series. Review
